George Adamski

George Adamski’s contact is very interesting on multiple levels. Although he had sightings over his home in California beginning as early as 1948, his first contact with a male humanoid extraterrestrial (who claimed to be from Venus) wasn’t until November 20, 1952 out in the Mojave Desert. Adamski’s first alien entity contact account included 6 other witnesses who were with him. He later wrote about these first experiences in his book Flying Saucers Have Landed. At the time of first contact Adamski also took photos of the craft within 100 feet of himself but was declined by the extraterrestrial to have photos taken of himself.

This same ET spoke with Adamski using a mixture of gestures, English and telepathy. The male alien was human appearing, but more blonde and beautiful than most. He was called Orthon and came from the planet Venus. He also wore strange trousers and shoes which left mysterious marks in the sand. The ET communicated to Adamski that there were twelve planets in the solar system, and that all contained enlightened, highly evolved humans like himself. This community Adamski came to refer to as the Space Brothers.

George AdamskiThe Space Brothers were apparently concerned that humankind had begun atomic testing on Earth. It was feared that the radiation might somehow leak out through space and cause damage to their habitats.

Adamski subsequently wrote the book Inside the Space Ships, which was his story of what happened to him during his years of ET contact that included his visits inside Venusian and Saturnian Scout crafts and their mother ships, meeting with other extraterrestrials and their conversations. This second book also contained 16 photographs (primarily taken in 1955) with illustrations of the great space ships from which the Scout Ships are launched.

George Adamski wrote several more books about his experiences and was received by many very famous and important people, including Queen Julianna of the Netherlands and (according to Adamski) Pope John XXIII, where he received a Golden Medal of Honour for his services in acting as a medium between humanity and the extraterrestrials.

Connections to San Diego

One of the first UFO conferences actually took place on August 7-8, 1954 near the top of Mount Palomar, California, at an altitude over 6,000 feet, in front of the Skyline Lodge.

This congress was promoted by George Adamski, Truman Bethurum and Daniel Fry, contactees all well known in the UFO community. More than a thousand persons attended it, from American journalists, FBI agents, saucer witnesses and just the curious.

During the event George Adamski explained that the Venusians were much like human beings and that they had infiltrated our society, living in the big cities. He also presented an artistic painting depicting a Venusian humanoid, very similar to blond caucuasianhumans with standard height and body structure, similar to Scandinavians or Nordics.

Connections To San Diego

• Palomar Gardens and Palomar Terrace is where George Adamski photographed many of the now famous Extraterrestrial Space crafts, experienced contacts, and conducted his school. Expressing a desire to support Mr. Adamski’s work and experiences, the Adamski Foundation solidified an agreement and collaborated their endeavors towards promoting that location and history. Consequently, the Foundation has been working closely, providing archival and copyright materials towards the production of a prominent display and coordinated development of that significant past and present.

• Oak Knoll Campgrounds is now developed into a prominent property and location for Recreational Vehicle, Camping and Outdoor facility. Located off of Interstate 15 in North San Diego County – 22 miles east on Highway 76, the property now boasts numerous improvements; cabins, pool, convenience store, etc., in addition to uncovering many of the trails once built by Adamski and his associates.

• The George Adamski Foundation is located in San Diego County in Vista and assists with these projects.

Howard Menger

Howard Menger was a contactee who claimed to have met extraterrestrials throughout the course of his life, meetings which were the subject of books he wrote, such as From Outer Space To You and The High Bridge Incident.

Menger rose to prominence as a contactee due to his many chats with friendly Adamski-style Venusian "space brothers" in the late 1950s. Detailed are some of his many experiences here.

Valiant Thor

Valiant Thor is an ET who resides on the planet Venus. He is the supposed current commander of a spaceship presently stationed on the ground near Lake Mead, Nevada, and heads the Council of Twelve on Venus.

In March of 1957 Valiant Thor landed in a small craft in Alexandria, Virginia and subsequently met with President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Vice-President Richard Nixon and Chiefs of Staff. The commander was offered a three-year furnished apartment at the Pentagon.

The purpose of Valiant Thor’s visit was to help the earth’s family to lead lives based on spiritual principles which ensured wholesome progress in all fields of endeavor including health, economics, scientific and technological advancement, justice, education and governance. Although his aid was refused by the American government, to this day Valiant Thor and his complement continue to give assistance to the people of Earth.

In December 1959, Dr. Stranges met Commander Valiant Thor and they enjoyed a long-term friendship until Dr. Stranges’ passing in November 2008.

Details of this encounter can be found in Dr. Frank E. Stranges’ book Stranger at the Pentagon.

Valiant Thor

The frequency through which we perceive here on earth – the so-called physical - is not necessarily normal on higher developed planets.

There are those who seem to have the ability to fit their life frequencies into ours while they are here on Earth giving an illusion of physicality.

As an example the lowest "physical life" on planet Venus is on the so-called astral level and some from that level claim to try to help earth people through their "lowered physical state" - projecting as a "normal" earth person, for example, Valiant Thor.

Albert Coe

In June 1920, then 16 year old Albert Coe was on a canoeing vacation in Ontario. Alone at the time, Coe heard a muffled cry while clambering to the top of an outcropping of rocks in remote and rough terrain on the Mattawa River. Looking around, Coe could see no one, so he let out a yell. Slightly to his right and ahead came an answer. “Oh help me, I’m down here.”

As Coe rescued this person, he began to notice some peculiarities. The stranger was dressed in a “silver-gray, jumper type suit”. On this suit was an instrument panel with all manner of knobs and panels upon it. After helping this stranger up from the cliff which he had fallen from, Coe talked the man into allowing him to assist the man in making his way back to the “plane” the stranger had used to make his way into the woods where Coe had found him. Coe’s description of the plane is as followed:

"A round silver disc, about 20 feet in diameter, was standing on three legs in the form of a tripod, without propellar, engine, wings or fuselage. I was musing over its lack of windows and portholes and wondered how he could see out, unless they were over on the other side. Just then, the perimeter edge began to revolve. At first it gave off a low whistling sound, picked up speed mounting to a high-pitched whine, finally going above the audible capabilities of the ear."

Albert Coe

With that, the craft flew off. Coe returned to his normal life for a time. About six months after this surreal encounter, Coe received a note from “Xretsim” setting up a meeting at the McAlpineHotel, Ottawa. Coe had many more meetings with this stranger, who called himself Zret for short, often with Zret driving a very human car.

Zret would eventually reveal to Coe that he was a part of a group of extraterrestrials who came from both Mars and Venus. This group of aliens had infiltrated every major nation on the Earth. Again, according to Zret, they had some sort of mission here that was dependent upon some event they were hoping to stave off. Coe meet with Zret and others of his kind for many years to come, but seemingly never again saw any more unusual “planes”.

George Van Tassel

George Van Tassel was born in Jefferson, Ohio in 1910, and grew up in a fairly prosperous middle-class family. He finished high school in the 10th grade and held a job at a Cleveland airport; he also acquired a pilot's license. At 20, he headed for California, where at first he worked for a garage owned by an uncle.

While working at the garage he met Frank Critzer, an eccentric loner who claimed to be working a mine somewhere near Giant Rock, a 7-story boulder near Landers, California. Frank Critzerwas a German immigrant trying to make a living in the desert as a prospector. During World War II, Critzer was under suspicion as a German spy and died during a police siege at the Rock in 1942. Upon receiving news of Critzer's death, Van Tassel applied for a lease of the abandoned airport near Giant Rock from the Bureau of Land Management, who managed the land, and was eventually given a renewable Federal Government contract to develop the airstrip.

Van Tassel became an aircraft mechanic and flight inspector who at various times between 1930 and 1947 worked for Douglas Aircraft, Hughes Aircraft, and Lockheed. While at Hughes Aircraft he was the Top Flight Inspector. He finally left Southern California's booming aerospace industry for the desert in 1947. He and his family at first lived a simple existence in the rooms Frank Critzer had dug out under Giant Rock. Van Tassel eventually built a home, a cafe, a small airstrip, and a dude ranch beside the Rock.

George Van TasselVan Tassel started hosting group meditation in 1953 in a room underneath Giant Rock excavated by Frank Critzer. That year, according to Van Tassel the occupant of a space ship from the planet Venus woke him up, invited him on board his ship, and both verbally and telepathically gave him a technique for rejuvenating the human body.

In 1954, Van Tassel and others began building what they called the "Integratron" to perform this rejuvenation. According to Van Tassel, the Integratron was to be a structure for scientific research into time, anti-gravity and at extending human life, built partially upon the research of Nikola Tesla and George Lakhovsky.

Van Tassel described the Integratron as being created for scientific and spiritual research with the aim to recharge and rejuvenate - "a time machine for basic research on rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel". The domed wood structure had a rotating metal apparatus on the outside he called an "electrostatic dirode". Van Tassel claimed it was made of non ferromagnetic; constructed of only wood, concrete, glass and fiberglass lacking even metal screws or nails.

The Integratron was never fully completed due to Van Tassel's sudden death a few weeks before the official opening. In recent times some people who have visited the unfinished Integratron claim to be rejuvenated by staying inside and experiencing sound baths.

George Van Tassel

Van Tassel hosted The Giant Rock Spacecraft Convention annually beside the Rock, from 1953 to 1978, which attracted at its peak in 1959 as many as 10,000 attendees. Guests trekked to the desert by car or landed airplanes on Van Tassel's small airstrip, grandly called Giant Rock Airport.

Every famous contactee appeared personally at these conventions over the years, and many more not-so-famous ones. References often state that the first and most famous contactee, George Adamski attended the third convention, held in 1955, where he gave a 35-minute lecture and was interviewed by Edward J. Ruppelt, once head of the Air Force Project Blue Book.

Van Tassel also founded a metaphysics research organization called The Ministry of Universal Wisdom, and The College of Universal Wisdom to codify the spiritual revelations he was regularly receiving via communications with the space people.

Van Tassel's book, I Rode A Flying Saucer recounts details of receiving "cosmic wisdom" from "Solgonda" and a large number of other people from space. Among his other works are The Council of Seven Lights, Into This World and Out Again, Religion and Science Merged, and When Stars Look Down.

Lobsang Rampa

Lobsang Rampa was a Buddhist monk and a medical Doctor, who was born in Tibet. After many tribulations and much travelling he eventually settled in Canada near the end of his life and so experienced life in both the east and the west. Dr. Rampa was a revolutionary for his time, one of the first of the Eastern teachers to bring Buddhism and metaphysics to the West in a popular fashion. He wrote many books about spiritual matters, beginning with "The Third Eye".

My Visit To Venus recounts a physical visitation to Venus. Excerpt can be found here.

Lester Rosas

In February or early March 1967 a Puerto Rican man named Lester Rosas received several telepathic messages from two Venusians, Laan-Deeka and Sharanna. They promised that they would meet with him face-to-face one day soon.

On the evening of March 31, acting under a strange compulsion, Rosas boarded a bus and took it to the end of the line, which happened to be along a coastal area. He kept walking until he reached a deserted part of the beach. By then it was pitch black, and he was unsure about what he was doing there and for what, or for whom, he was waiting. Then he felt an odd sensation as a man who had shoulder-length hair and was dressed in a close-fitting garment approached him. The man extended his hand, but when Rosas tried to shake his hand, the stranger withdrew it after a mild pressing of palms. He said in Spanish, "Yes, beloved Earth brother, I am LaanDeeka, of the planet Venus." He went on to state that Venusians had been keeping human beings under surveillance since their primitive origins and had also been living, unnoticed, among them.

Laan-Deeka then commenced to discuss reincarnation, saying that advanced earthlings who obey nature's laws are permitted to live their next lives on spiritually developed planets. In the universe, he said, most communication, even interplanetary and interstellar communication, occurs by telepathy. Human beings are backward, in part, because they fail to realize that telepathy is even possible.

The Venusian led Rosas to the other side of a small nearby wall, where they witnessed the materialization of a flying saucer. A door slid open, and a woman emerged to engage Rosas in a palm-to-palm Venusian handshake. "She was so lovely that I was speechless for a moment," Rosas recalled. "Her hair was long and fair, and she had a fantastic figure. . . . I estimated her measurements at 5'4" and 37-27-35." She introduced herself to Rosas as Sharanna, Laan-Deeka's fiance.

Lester Rosas

Though the couple looked to be no more than twenty years old, their manner suggested wiser, older persons. They had high foreheads and slightly slanted eyes, his green, hers blue. There was a musical sound to their voices, a sense of joy in their speech and action.

The three entered the ship and flew off to Venus, which proved to be the paradisiacal world reported by other contactees. On their way to the planet, Sharanna condemned the war in Vietnam as "senseless and stupid as are all wars." She also criticized those who refused to believe contact stories. If contactees' reports are sometimes contradictory" she said, "it is with good reason. Your Earth people are contacting space people from different planets and different cultures, in different stages of advancement. .. . Therefore the reports could hardly be the same" (Rosas, 1976).

Edward James

Wendelle Stevens and a man by the name of Edward James (not his real name) made an ebook of Edward James’ experiences, and Wendelle Stevens says that Edward James took his contact to him about his ET experiences in March, 1981. Like many others Edward was contacted in the early 60s. His first contact happened February, 1962, while he was a 17 year old student in high school in Miami. Through the years he had approximately 40 meetings with this man from seemingly outside of earth.

It first began with UFO-observations, then developed into physical meetings: 3-5 in the preceding month. All of them apparently accidental in his mind. He was then educated on higher principles, and on cosmic life on other partly invisible to us levels. Continues here.

Astral Visits To Venus• Venusians change their frequency so that their vehicles and people become visible to us on earth. Venusians thus exist in a

kind of invisible parallel world. The earth people who were transported to Venus underwent a process of transformation aboard the craft to be able to view life on Venus.

• Allegations of contacts with Venusians, Martians, Saturnians, etc., have been one of the reasons that serious UFOlogistsdismissed many contacts as rogues. But the fact remains that UFOlogists missed several of the classic contact cases where people actually did not visit Venus physically but at another dimensional level up to and including astrally.

• For example, Howard Menger's contactee case presented the same idea in From Outer Space To You: "Unless his physical body was processed and conditioned, it could not see the beings on another planet." The process is purely technical in which a space-woman showed herself in front of Menger as she pushes a button on her belt and then just as quickly disappears.

• According to Desmond Leslie's comments in the second edition of George Adamski On Board The Spacecraft, Adamskihimself had also declared that no man was able to visit another planet in our solar system and observe the inhabitants unless that person did not undergo a certain process first.

• The above explanations fit well into the theosophical esoteric world view. The Swedish esoterician Henry Laurency, for instance, stated that our planet (Terra) is one of the few planets in the solar system, in which organic life is possible ... The inhabitants of Venus have an etheric layer covering of coarse material that is confusingly similar to earth-like organisms.

• Now follow examples of astral or telepathic visitations to Venus.

Ernest L. Norman

The Voice of Venus recounts 30 trips to the higher dimensional levels of the planet Venus. Dr. Norman was entranced but maintained consciousness at all times. The places, buildings, cities, everything that is described was seen with the psychic eye and retained as a memory. He was able to “tune back” and recall each scene or incident just as you would remember a scene on the physical plane. See excerpts from the book here.

Dr. George King

Many of the transmissions received by Dr. King were given in trance, others telepathically.

Many of the communicators who spoke to, and through, Dr. King in this way were extraterrestrial – residing on higher planes of other planets in this solar system. If, for example, an Earth spacecraft were to take an astronaut to Venus tomorrow, that astronaut may well find no indication of the existence of Venusian culture. However, if a genuine Master of yoga, like Dr. King, were to project from the physical body to a higher plane of Venus, he would find a highly advanced spiritual civilization, existing at a frequency of vibration higher than that with which we are familiar on Earth.

The intelligence who made original contact was a being from Venus known as Master Aetherius, after whom The Aetherius Society was named – this being the organization founded by Dr. King in 1955, to spread and act upon the teachings from space. The word “Aetherius” is Greek in origin and means something along the lines of “traveler through the ether”. See interview with Dr. King here.

Dana Howard

Dana Howard was a follower of spiritualism, and specifically of spirit medium Rev. Bertie Lilly Chandler. During one of Chandler's weekly seances, in the mid 1950s, the Reverend accidentally managed to summon up and materialize a spectacularly beautiful, 8-foot-tall blonde Amazon from Venus, who immediately befriended Dana Howard. How spirit mediums, who professionally are supposed to communicate with the spirits of the dead, could materialize a living native of the planet Venus, did not seem to puzzle Howard or anyone else in the congregation. The Venusians are so spiritually advanced that they can exist as “pure spirit” and as material being.

Howard soon learned to communicate with the Venusian, Diane, simply by laying down and closing her eyes. She also “remembered” past meetings with Diane, stretching back to her childhood, when she had been carried to Venus in the flesh in a flying saucer made of transparent crystal. After some additional instruction by Diane, she was eventually able to visit Venus herself at will via astral projection. Howard was a prolific author, publishing about eight different Venusian wisdom books or pamphlets between 1954 and 1964.

Common Themes: Content of Communications

• Intelligent life exists everywhere throughout the solar system, galaxy, and universe.

• This life would appear to us for the most part to be humanoid in appearance.

• Higher advanced levels of humanoids are beautiful in appearance and emanation of intelligence particularly Venusians.

• Those who use physical transportation use space ships that harness the physics of the magnetic fields for propulsion.

• Most communicate through the use of telepathy.

• Continuity of life exists after death with many stating that we have all lived past lives.

• Venus is a planet that exists at an etheric level.

• Venusians are concerned about our welfare and may co-exist in some numbers with us on this planet.

• Nearly all contacts include warnings about the use of atomic weaponry.

• Earth is elementary and in the beginning stages of evolution.

• Consciousness is eternally evolving.

• Earth is the only planet in the solar system who has not made interplanetary travel freely available to all its citizens.

• The sun is not hot but transduces heat as needed by each planet in the solar system.

• God is referred to as an INFINITE CREATIVE ENERGY FORCE ever present throughout the infinite physical and non-physical universes.
